Craft beer has really gotten a lot better in the last few years. Almost everywhere you go, there is a brewery of some kind offering different interpretations of different beers. There are some that I absolutely love, and some that I find difficult. But the great thing is, there’s usually something for everyone who loves beer.
Each brewery has its own take on IPAs, EPAs, sours, seltzers, and everything in between. Some people may like it, and some people may not like it so much. But the bottom line is that you can almost always find something you like.
New breweries are popping up all over Minnesota. It can be fun to make plans to visit each one throughout the year. There are also some promotions that allow you to do that using maps, allowing you to keep track of what you’ve tried and what you’ve left to try, all while providing geographic clarity.
A new brewery is scheduled to open this summer. In fact, an old brewery is closing and a new brewery is slated to open in its place.
Lakes & Legends Brewery in Minneapolis’ Loring Park will open as Bullhaven Brewery.
Co-founder Glenn Oslin said he and fellow co-founder Alex Doering completed the acquisition last week.
“We have acquired Lakes & Legends Brewery in downtown Minneapolis. L&L has been a staple in the community for many years, and we are honored and excited to continue to support and leave our mark.”
According to the former Lakes and Legends website, the expected opening date is simply listed as “opening in early summer 2024.” So quickly?

To find the best beers in each state and Washington, D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that collects real-time beer user scores. BeerAdvocate makes its decisions by aggregating consumer ratings from all 50 states and Washington, D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. Weighted rankings aim to bring beers closer to the list average based on the number of ratings a beer has, and to boost the rankings of lesser-known beers. Only beers with a ranking of at least 10th place are considered. We went a step further and only included beers in the gallery that were user-ranked above his top 100.
